Dear rival fans,

Arsenal isn’t in the World Cup, so what exactly are you going to do for entertainment?

For years, your greatest source of joy has been tuning in and hoping Arsenal lose. Now you’ll have to watch football without your favourite team to hate.

Wankers!!

Happy World Environment Day 🌎

[Marvin🪵Lule @marvin_lule68]

I took this photo at Kayunga Regional Referral Hospital around May last year.
For those who don't know what medical interns actually do, let me share a small story.

One night as a medical student, I decided to spend time in theatre to learn. I was working with an intern doctor who was on call. That night, she had 6 emergency Caesarean sections to perform. I assisted in the first 3 surgeries and by around 3 am I was exhausted. I told her I was going to sleep because I had lectures at 8 am. the next morning. She smiled and told me to go.
The next day, after my lectures, I passed through the postnatal ward and found the same doctor reviewing patients. She had worked through the night, spent hours in theatre, and was still on the wards attending to mothers.
That was the day I truly understood that internship is not just another year of training. It is frontline hospital work.

When people hear "intern," they often imagine someone observing and learning. In reality, many interns are reviewing patients, responding to emergencies, assisting and performing procedures, covering night shifts, and helping keep hospitals running.

As the debate on intern allowances continues, I keep thinking about that night in Kayunga.

If we expect young doctors to carry that level of responsibility and workload, can we honestly say their welfare doesn't matter?

[Uganda Medical Association @TheUMAofficial]

Let us be honest: the issue is not that medical interns are too many.
It is not that Uganda has no money.
It is that medical interns are not being treated as a priority.

Consider the choices being made:

• Parliament keeps growing.
Parliament’s budget reportedly doubled to about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭. 𝟮 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻. The money going to 529 MPs rose from about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟰𝟬𝟬𝗯 in 2020/21 to 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟳𝟰𝟰.𝟰𝗯 in 2026/27, an increase of about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟰𝟰.𝟰𝗯.
What direct return does this give the common Ugandan in a crowded hospital?

• Two offices alone tell the story.
The Speaker and Deputy Speaker offices had about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟳.𝟭𝗯 combined in 2020/21. In 2026/27, they stand at about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟱𝟬.𝟮𝗯 , an increase of about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟰𝟯.𝟭𝗯 for only two offices.
That increase alone can pay 𝟯𝟬𝟬𝟬 interns 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭𝗺 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿, with money left.

• Questionable spending continues.
In 2025/26, selected Speaker’s office lines reportedly included 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟮.𝟰𝗯 for foreign travel, 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟵𝟲𝟲𝗺 for fuel, 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟰.𝟴𝗯 for incapacity, death benefits and funeral expenses, and 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟱.𝟮𝗯 for donations. Total: about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭𝟰.𝟮𝗯. What lasting public health return does this produce compared with doctors on wards?

• RDC structures are being funded.
Uganda reportedly has 146 RDCs, 170 Deputy RDCs and 432 Assistant RDCs, total 748 officials. Their proposed salary enhancement requires an extra 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟮𝟵.𝟬𝟳𝟵𝗯 every year.
Add the reported 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟬𝗯 for LC I to LC V political leader facilitation, and that is about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟱𝟵𝗯. In what way does this benefit the common Ugandan?

• Donations are funded.
State House donations reportedly consumed 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟳𝟱𝟭𝗯 over seven financial years. In 2023/24 alone, donations were budgeted at 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭𝟴.𝟭𝗯, but actual spending reached 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟴𝟬.𝟭𝟴𝗯. If tens and hundreds of billions can be found for donations, how does 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟮𝟰𝗯 to 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟲𝗯 for over 2,000 medical interns become impossible?

• Health was not protected with the same urgency.
The Ministry of Health vote fell from about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭. 𝟲𝟵𝟯 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 in FY2023/24 to about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭. 𝟯𝟰𝟰 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 in FY2024/25, a reduction of about 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟰𝟵𝗯. Even the 2025/26 estimate of 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟭.𝟱𝟲𝟰 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 remains below the 2023/24 level. Yet health is the sector that directly touches mothers in labour, accident victims, children with malaria, emergency patients and families in public hospitals.

Now compare:

• 2,000 interns × Shs1m × 12 months = 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟮𝟰𝗯 per year
• 2,500 interns × Shs1m × 12 months = 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟬𝗯 per year
• 3,000 interns × Shs1m × 12 months = 𝗦𝗵𝘀 𝟯𝟲𝗯 per year

Even using the Ministry of Health’s own gross figure of Shs15.6m per intern per year, the reported 2,706 eligible interns would require about Shs42.2b. That is still small compared with what is being found for political comfort and administrative expansion.

That money is not a handout.

✨ It avails doctors on wards.
✨ It keeps emergency units covered.
✨ It supports maternity care.
✨ It fills staffing gaps in regional referrals.
✨ It protects patients.

So let us stop pretending.

This is not a numbers problem.
This is not a money problem.
It is a priority problem.

Medical interns are doctors under apprenticeship, not free labour!

[ALTON 🩺 @NewtonAllan6]

Dear members of the public,

The medical fraternity is seeking your support. Your health and safety may be at risk due to this policy that want intern doctors working without pay.

Why should this concern you?

Intern doctors are a critical part of patient care. They often work long shifts, sometimes up to 36 hours, while handling emergencies, admissions, and ward duties. Expecting them to do this without any form of remuneration places immense physical, mental, and financial strain on them.

A demoralized and overworked workforce increases the risk of burnout, errors, absenteeism, and even unethical practices born out of desperation. Ultimately, it is the patient who bears the consequences.

This is not just a doctors' issue, it is a public health issue.

We therefore call upon all stakeholders and members of the public to raise their voices and support the call for fair treatment of intern doctors.

Say NO to unpaid internship. Protect healthcare. Protect patients.

[ᜰ @markklfc]

Thierry Henry on why Arsenal divide opinion in football:

🗣️ “People keep asking why Arsenal get so much attention, so much criticism, so much reaction… it’s actually very simple.

Arsenal are not a club people can ignore.

When they win, it becomes a global conversation. When they lose, it becomes a global celebration. That doesn’t happen to small clubs.

That happens to clubs that matter.

And Arsenal matter.

That’s why every decision, every mistake, every defeat gets amplified beyond normal football discussion.

Look at what happens after a night like the Champions League final against PSG. It’s not just PSG fans celebrating you see rival fans, neutral fans, even people who don’t watch Arsenal regularly suddenly very interested.

That tells you everything.

Nobody spends that much energy reacting to a club they don’t care about.

And yes, part of the noise comes from the size of the fanbase. Arsenal supporters are everywhere, and when a fanbase is that big, opinions become louder, arguments become bigger, and rivalries become more personal online.

But let’s be honest… every top club in the world behaves the same way when they’re successful.

People say they don’t like Arsenal fans, but what they really don’t like is the visibility that comes with success and expectation.

Because Arsenal are back in conversations for the biggest trophies, every result now carries weight.

That’s not hatred. That’s relevance.

And the truth is simple clubs that nobody talks about don’t get loved or hated.

Arsenal get both.

And that alone tells you exactly where they are in football.”

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Hi Kevin, we were celebrating Chelsea finishing 10th in the League, 33 points behind Arsenal, after spending £1 billion on players who wouldn’t get on our bench and whose only European football next season will be on a beach in Marbella. Thanks for asking!

🚨😳 Mesut Özil on the refereeing in PSG vs Arsenal:

🗣️ "I've watched football for many years, and I know referees can make mistakes. Nobody expects perfection...

But last night, it genuinely felt like Arsenal were fighting against more than just PSG. 🤯

The incident involving Madueke was a clear penalty for me. In any other match, anywhere else on the pitch, that contact would have been given as a foul immediately." 👀

[(fan) Alex⁸ @UTDAlex8]

🚨 Dennis Bergkamp on the hatred towards Arsenal:

“Even to this day, I still don’t understand why people hate Arsenal so much. Arsenal are not the only team in history to lose a Champions League final.

What surprises me even more is seeing our colleagues in the Premier League supporting outsiders to win the Champions League over us when Arsenal are the team representing the league in the final. I honestly wasn’t expecting that.

Football is about rivalry, but sometimes it feels like an obsession with Arsenal. Every mistake is magnified, while others don’t receive the same level of criticism.

Since we achieved the Invincibles, something none of them have been able to do, they don’t enjoy seeing us win trophies anymore.”

[Sam/FIFA Brit @FIFABrit]

For years, the running joke was “Arsenal 4th”

Then the running joke was “Arsenal 2nd”

Now they’re making fun of Arsenal for winning the Premier League and losing in a Champions League final on pens to the reigning champs
